RIP Trevor Wood MBE FRSA

So terribly sorry to learn of the passing of our member Trevor Wood, MBE on the 23rd September 2024.

Trevor was an active and much loved member and attended our events regularly and also helped moderate our various Facebook Groups.

He was a dear friend that I shall miss him dearly. I will remember our thoughtful conversations and giggles.

Our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy were sent to his husband Joe and his family.

Many have already left messages on the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gpn.london/permalink/10160386829732828/

here is a page stating his many other offices: https://www.inclusivecompanies.co.uk/trevor-wood-mbe-frsa/

His funeral took place at the City of London Crematorium on the 15th October with Joe, his husband, his family and a few friends.

A minute silence in his memory was observed at our meeting on the 22nd October 2023.

Rest in peace Trevor.
